*NATIVE WISDOM*

1. Burial rice tastes nice until it’s cooked in your compound.

2. ⁠When the axe came to the forest, the trees said the handle is one of us. Until they felt its cuts; *BETRAYAL IS MOSTLY* within.

3. ⁠When a kid grows up, a pencil is replaced by a pen, just to make the kid realize that now it is not easy to erase the mistakes.

4. ⁠One day, the ground we walk on will be our roof.

5. ⁠If loyalty was absolute, water is not supposed to cook the fish.

6. ⁠People don’t abandon people they love. They abandon people they are using.

7. ⁠How I wish RIP means *"Return If Possible"*

8. ⁠One Sad Truth about life is that you may not even be part of the future you’re stressed about.

9. ⁠The day you lose your father is the day you will realize that you have lost the only man who wanted to see you better than him.

10. ⁠The sheep lived all her life, fearing the wolf, but it was the shepherd that finally ate it.

11. ⁠When we were kids, we cried loudly to be noticed. But now we cry silently because we don’t want anyone to know.

12. ⁠Just because you have a good mom, doesn’t mean your dad has a good wife.

13. Just because you’re a good person, doesn’t mean the world owes you kindness.

14. ⁠When the blind man's sight is restored, the first thing he does is throw away the stick that has been helping him for years.

15. ⁠FAMILY is like a FOREST from a distance. They are all close until you get closer to see how DISTANT/SEPARATED trees are.

*Your dream is not that which you see in your sleep, it's actually that which does not allow you to sleep.*

Dear Parents

One of the best gifts you can give to your children is a good home. Creating a positive environment involves supporting their physical, emotional, and psychological development. Nothing stresses a child more than a home where parents are in turmoil.

Provide your child with a safe haven.
Ensure the home is safe and free from hazards, addressing both physical safety (like childproofing) and emotional safety (offering a non-judgmental space for self-expression).

Parent together as a couple to model teamwork. Children learn by observing, so demonstrate values you want them to adopt, such as honesty, kindness, and responsibility.

The woman you were when you had to survive was a force of nature. She did what needed to be done—no matter the cost. She built walls, armored her heart, and carried burdens no one even guessed she was holding. She learned how to hide her pain behind a smile, how to steady her voice when the world tried to shake her, and how to keep putting one foot in front of the other when the ground felt like it was crumbling.

You were the storm and the shelter at the same time. You found strength in places you didn’t know existed. You became tough, sharp, unbreakable—because you had to be. No one else saw the battles you fought in the dark, the times you cried in silence, the nights you wondered if you could keep going.

That woman was a survivor, and she deserves your deepest respect. She is the reason you’re here today. She is the reason you made it through. But survival is not the same as living. Those days required a certain kind of grit, a toughness that got you through the worst, but also left you exhausted, wary, and always bracing for the next blow.

You were always on guard, scanning every room for danger, expecting every kindness to disappear, and believing peace was just a pause before the next storm. Your heart became a fortress, your mind a battlefield, your soul a soldier. You survived because you had no other choice.

But hear this truth: you are not in that place anymore. You have crossed the rough seas and made it to new shores. The air is different now, the sky is clearer, the world is not as cold and hostile as it once felt. You are not the hunted anymore. You are the leader, the creator, the woman who owns her story.

You don’t have to live in survival mode any longer. You don’t have to flinch at every sound, tense up at every touch, or question every moment of peace. You are allowed to let your shoulders drop, to unclench your fists, to breathe deeply and freely, and to believe in safety.

You have earned the right to rest. Rest is not weakness. Gentleness is not surrender. You can let your heart soften now. You can let your guard down—not because the world has stopped spinning, but because you have become wise enough to choose who gets close, strong enough to walk away from what hurts, and brave enough to trust yourself.

You are smarter now, not just because you survived, but because you learned. Survival taught you resilience, but healing will teach you joy. You are allowed to step out of the armor that once saved you, and into the light that now calls you forward.

You are not that scared girl anymore. You are a woman who knows her power. You are a woman who can stand in a room and hold her own, not out of fear, but out of confidence. You are a woman who leads with both heart and mind, who knows when to be fierce and when to be gentle.

You are allowed to love again, to trust again, to hope again. The world may never be perfect, but you are not here to be small or afraid. You are here to live fiercely, to love boldly, and to lead without apology.

Let go of the need to control every outcome. Let go of the belief that you always have to be tough. Let the world see your softness, your laughter, your vulnerability. These are not weaknesses—they are the marks of a woman who has survived and chosen to thrive.

The version of you that survived was a masterpiece of strength. But the version of you that leads is a masterpiece of wisdom. She knows when to fight and when to rest, when to speak and when to listen, when to hold on and when to let go.

You are allowed to change. You are allowed to become more than what your past demanded. You are allowed to shape your life, not out of fear, but out of possibility. You are allowed to rise.

Do not be afraid of your own growth. Do not apologize for your healing. Do not shrink to fit an old story. The world is waiting for the woman who is not just a survivor, but a creator, a leader, a light for others still finding their way.

It’s time to step into your new power. It’s time to lead with the lessons you’ve earned, to love with the depth you’ve discovered, and to live with the freedom you’ve fought for.

You are not bound to the woman who only knew how to survive. She is part of your story, but she is not the whole story. You are allowed to outgrow her, to thank her, and to let her rest.

This is your season to live. To lead. To become the woman, you always dreamed you could be—not just a survivor, but a force. Not just a fighter, but a builder. Not just a protector, but a creator of a life worth living.

You are not just here; you are fully alive. And that, after everything, is your greatest victory."

*_See Jesus’ Grace and He Will See Your Faith!_*

_*“I don’t think I have enough faith to be healed.”*_

_*My friend, it’s not for you to see how much faith you have. That’s God’s department. All you need to do is simply see how gracious God is toward you.*_

_*The woman with the issue of blood didn’t go around saying, “I must have faith. I must have faith…” No, she wasn’t conscious of her faith (or lack of it). She was conscious of Jesus and His goodness. How? She heard about Jesus. She must have heard all about His kindness toward the sick and oppressed, and how He healed and delivered them ALL.*_

_*She simply saw Jesus in His grace, and Jesus saw her faith and affirmed it—“Daughter, your faith has made you well.” Beloved, just focus on Jesus’ grace. See how He healed ALL without qualification and keep hearing of His goodness!*_🙏🏾

These people and the entire RCCG actually believed that Buhari had what it takes to lead Nigeria into a first world.

These people went to school. Many are professors. Some claimed to have direct access to God.

Some are gifted with "prophesies."

They read history. They understood international relations. They understood how societies work or so we thought.

They were more than 20 years old in 1983 when Buhari shot himself to power.

They saw Buhari murder innocent Nigerians in 1983.

They saw Buhari destroy the economy in 1983.

They saw the role Buhari played in Abacha's government.

They read all the threats of violence by Buhari against the nation.

They saw Buhari harass Lam Adesina the Oyo State Governor due to Fulani herdsmen conflicts with locals in Oyo State.

They saw Buhari lead the sharia protest that claimed the lives of innocent Nigerians in 2001.

They saw Buhari and his minions open the gate of hell on innocent Nigerians when he lost the presidential election in 2011.

If Buhari was not speaking and defending his Fulani heritage he would be fighting to defend his religious heritage.

Never for once did he defend Nigeria or gave interview on how to rebuild the economy, education, power, health, etc.

They saw everything this man did. They knew him too well to miss the little details of his violent life.

But they were united in hatred.

Hatred for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. One among the few Nigeria leaders that actually wanted Nigeria to work.

Hatred became a unifying force to push forward a false narrative.

They exploited his humility.

They exploited his kindness.

They exploited his humanity

They danced and made merry in Ojota. They ate, drank and danced away the destiny of a nation.

Saints Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola, etc., led the chorus against ‘corrupt’ Goodluck Jonathan.

Tinubu a private jet owner and owner of Lagos, Amaechi a private jet owner and funder of Buhari campaign, Atiku a University owner paid with his civil service allowance etc wanted ‘corrupt’ Goodluck Jonathan out.

But the people did not see the moral paradox because you see - hate is a unifying factor.

They mobilised thugs to stone a sitting President.

They harassed his family wherever they went.

Because they are from the hated minority who must NOT be king.

For Kings must come from the Fulani lineage. Jonathan is Ijaw. Ijaws should not be Kings.

Jonathan must not loot also.

For looters must come from enablers of evil.

These are intellectuals.

Amongst whom are Pastors and Prophets.

Wisdom failed.

Prophesies failed.

WAEC issued a fake WAEC attestation to Buhari.

It is possible many Nigerian "intellectuals" are working with fake certificates.

A nation without conscience is a curse to its people.

We all are standing on the podium of history.

Humanity beckons.

Surely our children will read the roles we played in the salvation or annihilation of humanity.

Why not share for all Nigerians to read!!!

NATIVE INTELLIGENCE!

YOUR MOM MAKES ME HAPPY*

*Episode 4: A Family Affair*

Omar decided it was time for Sarah to meet his family. He was excited to introduce her to the people he loved, and he hoped they would love her just as much.

As they arrived at his parents' house, Omar's mom, Fatima, greeted them with a warm smile. "It's so nice to finally meet you, Sarah!" she exclaimed, hugging her tightly.

Sarah was charmed by Fatima's warmth and hospitality. She felt at ease as they sat down for dinner, surrounded by Omar's family. Ahmed, Omar's dad, asked Sarah questions about her interests and hobbies, and she impressed him with her intelligence and kindness.

As the evening progressed, Omar watched Sarah laugh and joke with his family, feeling grateful that they seemed to get along so well. He knew that his family was important to him, and it meant a lot that they liked Sarah.

After dinner, Fatima pulled Omar aside and whispered, "She's lovely, beta (son). You two seem perfect for each other."

Omar smiled, feeling happy that his mom approved. "Thanks, Mom. I'm really falling for her."

Fatima smiled back. "I can see that. Just remember, relationships take work, but if you both are committed, you can build a beautiful life together."

Omar nodded, taking his mom's words to heart. He knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life making Sarah happy, and he hoped she felt the same way...

(To be continued...)

Even the name of the LORD is under His word.


(Psalm 138:2 kjv):-

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Don't get it twisted!

We know what we are saying.

So when you are calling His name, Lord Lord without His word in you...,
How can you enter...!?

Shalom Israel of God

Mercy Johnson’s Official Response

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

I usually don’t respond to drama or online callouts, but I feel the need to address recent statements made about me by Angela Okorie.

First of all, I come from a place of peace. I’ve spent years working hard in this industry, trying to grow, evolve, and focus on my family and career. I’ve never claimed to be perfect — I’m just a woman trying to live with integrity and love.

Angela, I truly don’t know what pain you may be carrying, but I want to say this from my heart: If I have ever hurt you in any way, directly or indirectly, I’m sorry. Not because I feel guilty of any wrongdoing — but because peace is more valuable than pride.

However, I also won’t allow my name or character to be misrepresented without defending my truth. I stand by who I am, what I believe in, and the values I hold dear.

To my fans and the public, thank you for standing by me. Please let’s not spread hate or negativity — let’s choose kindness, maturity, and mutual respect.

Life is short. Let’s build, not break. Let’s pray for one another, not pull each other down.

Love always,
Mercy Johnson Okojie.

Friendship: True friendship involves a strong bond built on trust, loyalty, and mutual respect, where individuals accept each other unconditionally, offer unwavering support, and prioritize each other's well-being. It's a relationship where individuals can confide in each other without fear of judgment, and where honesty and kindness are the hallmarks of communication. True friends are present through thick and thin, cheering each other's successes and offering a shoulder to cry on during difficult times.

MEMORIZE
Luke 5:5
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

READ
Luke 5:4-9
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: *When we submit to God's word over our lives, we have submitted to the ultimate in the universe.*

MESSAGE
The universe came into existence at the instance of God's spoken word.

He literally spoke everything into existence and held them in place firmly by the same word. So powerful is the Word, that He Himself submits to His word.

Everything is a product of words relatively.

Every man or woman is a product of words. We all are products of the words we have listened to cumulatively over the years.

The medical doctor was made by listening to certain words over a period of time. The lawyer was made by words. The Architect is a product of words. Our parents moulded our lives with words.

And God moulded the universe by simply speaking.

*In the realms of words, God's word is the ultimate.*

The Bible puts it this way;
Psalms 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."

The word is the greatest revelation of God in the universe. He has always existed as the Word. He manifested as the Word. His word is His bond.

And when we submit to God's word over our lives, we have submitted to the ultimate in the universe. There is nothing as great as the Word of God anywhere in the universe.

The one who submits to God's word will be put in command of the world, because God rules and runs the world by His word.

It appeared that Peter the fisherman understood this truth even as an unschooled fisherman that he was.

As against his professional ethics in fishery, he hearkened to the word of the Son of God and his night was turned into day.
Peter became an apostle of the Word because he was converted by the power of the word that worked in his life. He was a living witness of the wonders of God's word.

*Beloved, everything changes and turns around at God's word.*

It doesn't matter how bad your case may be today, there is hope for you if you will surrender your life to God through His word and begin to obey what He says.

Make the word of God your greatest companion today, and your story will surely be rewritten. Shalom.

ACTION STEPS
1. Locate the scriptures that deals directly with your peculiar case and apply them to your life.
2. Meditate on them regularly until they become part of your life.
3. Act on them, speak them over your case until your change becomes obvious.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide. Open my eyes that I might see wondrous things from your word. And let my own seasons of enjoying your wonders begin in Jesus name. Amen.

*When we submit to God's word over our lives, we have submitted to the ultimate in the universe.*

There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

Showers of blessing we need ;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

Precious reviving again ;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

Send them upon us, O Lordl
Grant to us now a refreshing ;
Come, and now honour Thy Word.

Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call !
